Hosting tips for Asheville homeowners

To maximize bookings and keep guests coming back, focus on a few high-impact improvements:

  • Great photos: Shoot on a sunny day and show the pool, patio, and any private views.
  • Clear rules: Post pool rules for safety, noise, and guest limits so expectations are set before arrival.
  • Comfortable amenities: Provide extra towels, loungers, shade, and a clean changing area.
  • Pricing strategy: Offer weekday discounts and weekend peak rates to capture both local and visitor demand.

Safety, insurance, and local regulations

We include $2M liability insurance on bookings to give hosts and guests peace of mind. Still, follow local rules and best practices:

  • Check Asheville and Buncombe County regulations for pool safety and noise ordinances.
  • Keep a well-stocked first-aid kit and posted emergency contacts.
  • Consider pool covers, alarms, and clear fencing to increase safety for small children.

Many hosts also require a refundable security deposit or a damage deposit through the booking platform for extra protection.

Popular uses and seasonal notes

Asheville’s seasonality matters: summer brings the most bookings, but shoulder seasons can be great for heated pools or indoor/outdoor properties.

Common uses we see in Asheville:

  • Family swim afternoons and small reunions
  • Photoshoots and influencer content with mountain backdrops
  • Small celebrations like anniversaries and engagement parties

If your pool is heated, highlight that in the listing — heated pools extend the season and can command higher hourly rates.

Getting the most from your listing

A few final tips to stand out:

  • Offer flexible check-in times for weekend guests arriving from out of town.
  • Keep a short, friendly welcome guide on property rules and nearby recommendations (cafés, breweries, parks).
  • Respond quickly to booking requests—guests often pick the fastest, friendliest host.
